The music to this song was written by Mark Nevin during the winter of 1990 into 1991 when Morrissey intended to put together a rockabilly mini-album. With all the personnel changes happening at the time and the latter musical plans being shelved, the song was finally recorded during the "Your Arsenal" recording sessions, which took place in March 1992 at the Wool Hall in Bath, with producer Mick Ronson. Musicians on this recording were Boz Boorer (guitar), Alain Whyte (guitar), Gary Day (bass) and Spencer Cobrin (drums).
